Sources used: General Anatomy and Musculoskeletal System (THIEME Atlas), Creasy & Resnik's Maternal-Fetal Medicine, Textbook of Family Medicine 9e, and standard obstetric reference values.
Most critical exam numbers to nail:
- S. vera = 11 cm (derived: diagonalis − 1.5–2 cm)
- Interspinous = 10–11 cm (narrowest point of birth canal)
- Suboccipito-bregmatic head diameter = 9.5 cm (most favorable presentation)
- Normal FHR = 110–160 bpm
- The four Leopold maneuvers: fundal → lateral → lower pole → engagement
